Why do all curators dress like this guy?
I don’t trust them to keep those safe at all
Can you imagine how furious this noble was when he got the head for the statue in? Just excitedly cracking open the crate it was delivered in, marveling at the detail, getting your servants to hurry it to the statue, only to find out the sculptor gave you a little head. Thousands of years later, and the only way anyone knows you existed is because of the fortune you spent on a too-small head on your sculpture.
